Subject: Hi Smitty WAS:Re: Gym help
Smitty, how you going mate. I just looked at your website and you have
some terriffic images there. How's the Canon going? I've just bought a
Pentax 645N for my landscape work, not sure to do with my Maxxum system
as yet, I've bneen thinking I can use my D7 (soon to become an A1)for
anything the MF is not suitable for. Are you not using film at all now
for work?
